I've been buying lots of black and white this spring and this is perfect for a dozen different outfits; I have to be careful not to keep pulling this necklace out of the rack when I dress in the morning. It works for tons of things! I've worn it 3-4 times already and have only had it a few weeks. There are no stray pieces to catch on my hair or clothing....that's a real plus! Nothing "blingy" about it...straightforward and well done.
